Holland Family
Letter dated dated June l, 1928 -- "When I was a little girl like you I had neither a Mama or Papa both were dead but the best of grand Mama who took care of me. I was sick most of the time none thought I could live but have lived to be almost 83. When I dye I want you to have my grand Fathers and grand Mothers profiles probably you have never seen one, that is the way they use to take their pictures, and I want you to take good cair of them and keap them as long as you live and if you should live and get married and have a baby you can give them to it. They are your great graid grand parents. I have written own a piese of paper and pasted it on the back of both of the pictures who they are and that they are for you. You are the youngest grandchild I have. I never saw my grand Papa he died before my time."
From the Moravian Records - Dec., 10 1773 - "The day after Brother Bagge's return the single Brethren Heinzmann, Schapiz, Wutroba and Holland arrived from Europe."
July 11, 1775 - We had a letter from John Holland, explaining that he came to Wachovia to settle on a piece of land and to get married. However since he has been here he has not approved himself in such a manner that we could think with pleasure of making such a change with him."

Records of the Moravians in NC 7:3232. Feb. 2, 1815. The single Wilhelm Holland and the single Elisabeth Schumacher have married, according to their own self-will, and after a secret engagement made in defiance of our rules. This is the second time recently that cousins have married, and there was a discussion of the need for keeping a watchful eye on the association of such relatives to prevent the breaking of the rules of the congregation.

Maria Henrietta died in June, 1850; Moravian records refer to her as a married woman, so Alexander Hauser must have survived her. We have no record of him after this date, however. Does anyone know where he went, or when he died?
